Every summer, Charlotte turns into the epicenter of Black brilliance — and in 2025, Durag Festival is leveling up once again. On Saturday, June 21st, the city will come alive with music, fashion, art, and an unapologetic celebration. It's not just a festival — it's a statement. If you’re young, creative, and ready to shine, this is your official invitation to step up and take center stage.

The Spirit of Durag Festival.
Durag Festival was born from the soul of Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom, resilience, and creativity. Since its launch, it has evolved into more than just a party; it's a cultural movement that celebrates Black identity in every vibrant, powerful form. In 2025, the energy is even bigger, calling everyone back to Charlotte, North Carolina, to celebrate under the open sky. June 21, 2025, marks a day when the streets will drip with style and purpose. It’s where kings and queens rock their crowns — literally and figuratively — as durags, silk wraps, and natural hair take center stage. It’s a living museum of Black expression, where every outfit, every performance, and every smile tells a story. Set against the backdrop of the Queen City, the Durag Festival is both a nod to the ancestors and a gift to the future. And with tickets now officially on sale at , the countdown to the ultimate Juneteenth celebration has formally begun.
